Giraffe Silhouette - Contour on Pink
A Giraffe outline and silhouette against a pink sunset sky, as photographed in the wilds of Namibia, southwestern Africa.
I like this image as it purely indicates this animal's outline, and clearly the elongated neck catches the eye. Standing nearly 6 meters high, this animal can reach the highest and most succulent green leaves on trees. Its favorite is Acacia species. With a tough and "thorn resistant" tongue, it will strip leaves from branches before feasting on it.
The giraffe is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. The giraffe is also noted for its extremely long neck and legs and prominent horns. It stands 5–6 m tall and has an average weight of 1,200 kg for males and 830 kg for females.
